Police have asked for time to bring the Kalakalappu actor from Hyderabad to Chennai

The Tamil Nadu police on Wednesday sought more time from the Madras High Court to produce actor Anjali before the Court, since she had to be brought from Hyderabad. On behalf of the police, Additional Public Prosecutor AN Thambidurai made the submission before a division bench comprising Justice V Dhanapalan and Justice CT Selvam.

The matter has been adjourned to July 9. It may be recalled that Anjali left her house in Chennai and resurfaced in Hyderabad, from where she hurled charges at Bharathi Devi, alleging her aunt had been swindling her.

Problems continue to haunt actor Anjali who recently went missing, alleging harassment at the hands of her director and her stepmom

Director Kalanjiyam, against whom actor Anjali levelled charges of harassment in collusion with her stepmother Bharathi Devi, has decided to file a complaint with film bodies against the actor for failing to turn up to shoot for his film.

Kalanjiyam complained, “The shooting of my forthcoming movie Oor Suttri Puranam was scheduled on April 24 and Anjali did not turn up. This made us face huge losses.”

Stating that he would file a complaint with film bodies before going to court, the director adds, “I don’t want to file a case straightaway since we have various associations to protect our interests.”

Anjali, who walked out of her home a couple of weeks ago and went missing, resumed to work only recently. She is currently shooting for the Telugu remake of Bol Bachchan, with Venkatesh.

Saddened by the recent turn of events, South actor Anjali said she can’t blame anyone for the mess in her life as she is herself responsible for it

“I’m sorry about all the recent incidents that happened in my life. I have nobody to blame for it because I’m responsible for my actions,” said Anjali, who appeared in public on Friday after remaining missing for five days.

“I may have hurt many in the last few days, including my family members. I would personally like to apologise to them.

“I would also like to thank all those who stood by me and lent their support. I will start shooting from Monday for pending projects. All I need to do now is concentrate on my work and put all this behind me,” she added.

Known for successful films such as Engaeyum Eppothum, Kalakalappu and Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, Anjali went missing on April 8 after accusing her stepmother Bharati Devi and Tamil director Kalanjiyam of harassment.

She complained that Bharati Devi and Kalanjiyam were causing her mental torture and were using her as an ATM.

Bharathi Devi on Thursday filed a habeas corpus petition in the Madras High Court, requesting an order to the police to find her ‘daughter’ and produce her before the court

In her habeas corpus petition in the Madras High Court, Bharathi Devi stated that Anjali was actually the daughter of her elder sister and she adopted her in 2003 after following all the necessary legal formalities.

Stating that Anjali was missing for the past few days, Bharathi Devi said she had filed a complaint with the police. She requested the court to order the police to produce Anjali before the court.

It may be recalled that Anjali left her home in Chennai a few days ago and went to Hyderabad. From there, she contacted the media in Chennai and leveled charges against Bharathi that she had been using her as an ATM machine and also said that her stepmother and director Kalanjiyam were harassing her.

She then allegedly went missing from the Daspalla hotel in Jubilee Hills. Her brother Ravi Shanker had filed a complaint in Hyderabad saying his sister has gone missing since Monday.

A day after she filed a complaint against her step mother Bharati Devi and director Kalanjiyam, accusing them of harassment, Telugu actor Anjali has allegedly gone missing

She had claimed yesterday that the female who used to accompany her for all film shoots and events is not her actual mother. She had also accused the woman of fleecing her and using her as an ATM. Actor Anjali had further said that Bharati Devi and director Kalanjiyam were harassing her, and if anything untoward happens to her, they should be held responsible.

While Kalanjiyam refuted this piece of news and filed a petition against the actor for maligning his name, Anjali’s brother Ravi Shanker has filed a complaint in Hyderabad saying his sister has gone missing since Monday, from Daspalla hotel in Jubilee Hills. He has said that there’s a threat to her life from Bharati Devi.

The police meanwhile have launched their investigation, and are searching or CCTV clues with regard to the actor.

The actor says that her stepmother has been using her as an ATM and harassing her

In a shocking revelation, actor Anjali has stated that the woman who was accompanying her to shootings and functions was not her mother as perceived by many and that she was her stepmother.

Also, the actor has alleged that Bharathi Devi has been using her as an ATM machine and fleecing her.

Anjali has left her home in Chennai and is currently in Hyderabad. She said that Bharathi Devi and director Kalanjiyam (who introduced her to Kollywood) have been harassing her.

Meanwhile, Kalanjiyam has denied all the allegations and said he is just a family friend. Anjali is popular in Kollywood for Angadi Theru and Engeyum Eppodhum and in Tollywood for Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirumalle Chettu.
